Real gentlemen, fighting like knights during the match, shaking hands, congratulating each other and accepting the result graciously. That is sportsmanship at its finest level.
No way in hell you’d see that with the current defending chumps - I mean champs. And good thing for the Germans it was Italy they were facing instead of Argentina. If it were the latter they’d target Beckenbauer because of his dislocated arm
possibly the greatest world cup match ever- i remember watching it on the edge of my seat hoping that italy would win- any team with gerd muller in it was hard to beat- he didnt really score memorable goals but he scored a lot of them- he was a machine
Fußball aus einer anderen Zeit - und doch das beste WM-Spiel überhaupt! Hier zählte die Qualität der Mannschaft mehr als die einzelner Spieler. Wunderbare Erinnerungen!
Gravity-defying assist by Uwe Seeler. Uwe was captain in the final against England in 66. After the famous Hurst goal was given (over the line if you're English but not in you're German ;) you can see him telling his team mates to leave the lineman alone. Had the pleasure of showing him round London. Very friendly guy. Uwe told me the teams visited each other for many years afterwards. He used to go and stay with Bobby Charlton.
This was past my bedtime in 1970. I remember, the next morning my mum and dad saying this was the best match they'd ever seen. I've never seen it (not even highlights). Thanks for posting this. It means a lot.
Moi aussi j'avais 14 ans le lendemain ecole et je l'ai regarde avec mon pere durand la nuit.Incroyable Un match qui restera dans l'histoire du foot et a tout jamais dans ma mémoire!
I saw this game in person when I was 8 years old from my dad's skybox. I still remember the emotion of the goal at second half, Mueller's goal, seeing Beckenbauer with his arm (I didn't understand the effort, even though everyone was talking about it) and my sadness when Germany lost. Since then, I have been an admirer of German culture. Nowadays, I always sustain that Italy emptied during this game and for them was impossible to sustain the physical effort during the 2nd half against Brazil at Mexico City 2,300 meters of altitude (If you see the Final game, the first half was equilibrated). 16 years later, I saw Diego from the same seats
The greatest game in the history of the World Cup. I listened to it on the radio from the BBC. The commentators were Maurice Eddleston and Peter Jones. When W Germany equalized in the dying seconds of the game, the commentator said the crowd went berserk.
Azteca Stadium has witnessed some of the best football moments: Pele's last World cup title in 1970, the match of the century (Germany vs Italy 1970), and Maradona's goal of the century against England (1986). An unique stadium for sure
I was ten and following it on the radio. What a match!!! One of the best matches of the 20th century. Unforgetable! Two great teams. But Brazil was on the top! At this time football was not yet corrupted by money. It was pure joy, pleasure, fair play, respect.
Permítanme destacar la actitud de gladiadores de estos futbolistas de antes,, sin tanta payasada, ni agarraderas ni besadera al momento de celebrar un gol: verdaderos profesionales
Por eso perdieron. En el último gol de Italia el kaiser está mirando como el jugador italiano remata a placer a gol. No puedes mantener a un jugador en el campo en esas condiciones.
This is football at its finest ever. I get so emotional when I see this match highlights. Mullers razor sharp reflexes, Rivas left foot, Riveras precise winner. In a way, good that Germany lost because it would have been tiring to play a rampant Brazil in the final. Italy were just about able to ward off Germanys challenge. The 1982 loss to Italy in the final came after a tiring semi final win over France.
Possibly the best game ever played. Italy went up early and Germany had to try to break the Italian catenaccio for almost the entire game until they finally did so. They already had an unbelievable extra time game vs England in the quarterfinal when they turned a 2-0 deficit around to win 3-2. That character they had made this game so great I think.
The equalizer for Germany, scored at last minute by Schellinger the only goal he ever scored! He was just about to go to the changing room, and he find himself the ball in front of his feet! Amazing.......the football that doesn't exist anymore!
@@Alessandro-B He died a couple of weeks ago. He first played for Germany in 1958 and bowed out in 1971 but only won 47 caps as he was ignored for years because he played abroad.
I remember this epic match! When i was 13 old in Switzerland! One of the best match ever...and what players!! Imagine this world cup Brazil with Pelé England Charlton ❤ never forget
Gigi Riva Goool, fantastic player, too little known to the rest of the world because, by his choice of heart he played only in Cagliari, a great player and a great man. RIP
I would love a recap of the 54 final in 4k. The files that are there have very good quality to be remastered in 2160p and 60 fps. You do a great job, that no one had the idea to do. Every stupidity is remastered with AI and these audiovisual archives so important for the history of sports are forgotten. Thank you very much!!
Sans doute la rencontre plus emblématique de l'histoire de la coupe du monde. L'Allemagne de Beckenbauer et Gerd Muller était à l'aube d'une belle série de succès dans les années 70 avec surtout les titres consécutifs de champion d'Europe et champion du monde en 1972 et 1974...
Riva ...Riva...ed e' goal ..!! Grande Nando Martellini; ti e', ci e' ,sfuggita in quel Giugno del 1970 la vittoria finale. , ma 12 anni dopo , davanti al presidente Pertini ed a tutto paese, hai potuto esclamare 3 volte " Campioni del mondo" !!!, con una Germania kaputt
Damals war ich 10 Jahre und habe es in Erinnerung als ob es Heute gewesen wäre. Ernst Huberty als Reporter eine Legende und wenn Sie jemals ein Müller Tor gesehen haben dann Heute. Das ist so Legendär das es einem sogar die Tränen ins Auge treibt.
Creo que éste, bien pudo ser el partido del siglo, como también muchos, así lo han calificado. Pude verlo por televisión y jamás había visto algo igual y creo que ya no lo veré.
Raramente si sono viste partite con due coppie di attaccanti cosi' forti in entrambe le formazioni. Da un lato Riva e Boninsegna e dall'altro Muller e Seeler.
@@vtamaslaszlo1175 Dare a Cesare quello che e' di Cesare : 1954 , tedeschi forse dopati, ma vittoria morale dei magari.Grande Ungheria anche nel 1966, contro il più' forte Brasile di sempre ; ricordo ancora la partita in diretta TV, naturalmente in bianco e nero. Tanti saluti da Bologna, citta' la cui squadra di calcio nei lontani anni 30 e 40 del secolo scorso giocava contro rivali ungheresi in tornei europe,i diversi dagli attuali, ma non meno importanti.l
I rarely see world cup matches with 7 goals and high number of shots on target by both sides, Italy was so drained after this match they lost final to Brazil and Pele 1-4
So, Italy was drained just because they played 30 minutes longer some days before the final? This does not make any sense at all. The fact is that Brazil was much much better than any other team back then. Its just an excuse to justify the defeatz which, looking in hindsight, was inevitable.
@@thicarpel Brazil with Pele,Tostao,Jairzinho is of course the best team in the world but The intensity of the game with Germany so drained the Italy they lost (1-4 ?), in fresher condition maybe they could hold Brazil to 1-2, or 0-2 defeat.
L' Italia ben in forma si e' rifatta della sconfitta in finale nel 1970 con il Brasile 23 anni dopo .Argentina , Brasile , Polonia ed infine Germania .Un poker che ha significato il terzo titolo mondiale
Schnellinger's goal prevented Italy from playing on a level playing field with Brazil. In the first half the match was balanced, but in the second half the Italians were tired from playing overtime and Brazil won easily.
Alemania debió ganar, el árbitro no cobró un penal para Alemania. Beckenbauer jugó el suplementario lesionado, vean el 4to gol de Italia, parado estaba el Kaiser además cansados porque el partido anterior habían jugado un partido duro con Inglaterra y fueron a suplementario. En cambio Italia había tenido un partido fácil con México.
The first time I saw highlights from this game I was not that impressed, being used to the power football of the 21cent. Now that I watched this again with a different approach, it truly stands out as a unique game, a gem from an era of gentlemen and heroic fighters.
One could tell, by the players body language , the altitude made them extrenuosly exhausted. They overcame it, but the German game based on athletic strength , it suffered.
4K 50 fps? You are using a 1970 TV broadcast as a source, not a film. There is no magic to enhance it to look better than the original, no matter how high you set the resolution and the bitrate. Either you are clueless about how digital video works or this is done as a clickbait.
How good was this game - barely a foul in the match. Two great teams but Brazil were even better which makes them the best side of all time in my opinion..
No less than six penalty kicks could and should have been awarded to the Germans. The referee was so busy watching the ball he failed to see that time after time Gerd Muller was held, kicked and tripped and was flat on his face when the ball finally passed across the Italian goalmouth.
